IMPERIAL AND FOREIGN POST

Redirection cannot be undertaken if the sender has forbidden redirection by means of a note on the address side of the packet, in a language known in the country of destination.

Registered or Insured Articles

Registered or insured articles on being redirected may not be dropped into a letter box, but must be taken to a post office to be dealt with. No additional regis- tration or insurance fee will be charged if the packet is presented for re-registration or re-insurance not later than the day after delivery.

An insured letter or box cannot be redirected to a place abroad unless there is an insured letter or box service (as the case may be) to the country concerned, with a sufficiently high limit of value.

PARCELS

A parcel may be redirected to the same addressee at another address either officially or by an agent of the addressee after delivery under the following con- ditions:

A parcel from abroad redirected from one address

to another in the Colony.

A parcel redirected from one country to another is

charged the full postage.

In most cases Customs charges raised in a country abroad are cancelled on the redirection of a parcel to another country; but there are certain exceptions (see paragraph under Non-Delivery on page 109).

When an insured parcel is redirected from one country to another, a further insurance fee becomes payable for each transmission. If the fees are not prepaid they are collected from the addressee on delivery.
